"In the first quarter of 2008, only 41.6 percent of the unemployed
received any unemployment compensation. Even for those who do
receive benefits, the wage replacement level is quite low: the
average worker’s benefits are just half of their preunemployment
earnings.""Equality in Job Loss: Women Are Increasingly

Victory on unemployment insurance!
Millions will be helped After months of campaigning by EPI and allied
groups, Congress finally enacted a 13-week extension of unemployment
benefits in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The veto-proof
June 27 vote is expected to help more than 3 million unemployed
workers who otherwise would have exhausted their benefits over the
next nine months, and to provide a needed boost to hard-hit local
economies. The vote also signals an understanding by members of
Congress that the current economic downturn is serious and requires
ground-level intervention. EPI News, 7/3/08
